Bison Armory
You observant folks may have noticed their ad over there on the left for a while. And since Kevin and Derek both sorta let the cat out of the bag, I’ll go ahead and mention it. I’m part-owner/partner with Bison Armory. The other half (or rather more than half) is Carnaby.
Bison Armory specializes in 6.8SPC barrels and custom uppers. And I took one to the Gun Blogger Rendezvous for folks to have fun with. With the upper, folks were pinging a steel plate consistently at 400 yards with open sights. Including Phil from Britain who’d never fired an AR before. We auctioned the upper off to benefit Project Valour IT and it was won by Larry from Brownells.

Fits on a standard AR lower you say? I think I need one of those…

Yes, it does. And, yes, you do. For better reliability, you should get 6.8 mags too.

Maybe too technical of a question, but could I slap a scope on one of your 6.8SPC uppers and have it stay zeroed (for quick switch between 5.56 and 6.8SPC)?

It would not, I would guess. However, 6.8 has similar ballistics to 308 out to about 6-700 yards. The zero would not be the same but it might be in the ballpark.

I hope the venture works out for you!
